Seether - Seether Workout Vol. 3 (2026)
This feels less like an album and more like a functional rock bundle. Seether Workout Vol. 3 delivers exactly what the title promises: loud, mid-tempo, riff-driven tracks built for momentum rather than reflection. The problem is that once the initial punch wears off, there’s not much else happening. It’s competent, aggressive, and familiar — maybe too familiar.
The grit is still there. The guitars hit with weight, and Shaun Morgan’s voice carries that worn, post-grunge edge that defined the band’s sound for years. But because this is essentially a curated compilation, there’s no evolution, no narrative arc, no sense of risk. It’s muscle memory. It works in the background of a gym session. It doesn’t demand attention beyond that.
Pros
-
Consistent heavy energy – Riffs are tight and punchy; the intensity never really drops.
-
Recognizable identity – The band’s signature post-grunge sound remains intact and immediate.
-
Functional sequencing – As a workout-style collection, the flow keeps momentum steady.
Cons
-
No artistic cohesion – Feels like a playlist, not a creative statement.
-
Repetitive tonal range – Similar tempos and textures blur together over time.
-
Low replay gravity outside context – Works for a specific purpose, less compelling for focused listening.
